sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/22/2021 5:47 pm Not a very impaired proof, no cigar in this case, unfortunately. Instead, a rather well worn coin that has done good and faithful service, that was polished with metal polish to make it shine. Polish was done some years ago, and the coin has almost completely re patinated back to it's original brown color. Good photography. Report this Post to the Staff

I have one that is deep purple when titling to the light source. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

Jameshuntt New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/23/2021 1:51 pm Thank you all very much honestly I'm really into pennies and a few other denominations but I'm not educated at all when it comes to determining if something is a proof strike or not so all the feedback was very helpful I guess I just have to wait until one day I either buy a proof wheat or find one so I have one to compare other questionable coins too and have a baseline for what to look for Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 10/23/2021 11:11 pm Proof Lincolns look very different from the business strikes. The early proofs 1909-1915 can be difficult to distinguish from business strikes because the hubs and dies were fresh. You can google for images of those and you'll see the difference. https://www.google.com/search?q=191...ih=682&dpr=1 Lincoln Cent Lover!
